[Intro]
G#m C#m E D# G#m 2x
[Verse]
G#m
Well I'm standing by the river,
C#m
But the water doesn't flow.
E D#
It boils with every poison -
G#m
You can think of.
[Verse]
And I'm underneath the street light,
C#m
The delight of joy I know,
E D#
Scared beyond belief,
G#m
Way down in the shadows.
[Chorus]
B
And the perverted fear of violence,
F#
Chokes a smile on every face,
E D#
Common sense is ringing, out the bells.
G#m C#m
This ain't no technological breakdown,
E D# G#m
Oh-no, this is the road to hell.
[Solo]
G#m C#m F# B B
G#m C#m E D# G#m
[Verse]
B
And as the roads jam up with credit,
F#
And there's nothing you can do,
E
It's all just bits of paper,
D#
Flying a way from you.
G#m
Oh look out world take a good look,
C#m
Look who's down there,
E D# G#m
You must learn this lesson fast, and learn it well.
[Outro]
G#m C#m
This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway,
E D#
Oh-no, this is the road,
E D#
This is the road,
E D# G#m
This is the road ... to hell.
